BTC Youth XC - Registration Reminder

REMINDER

If you have not yet completed the pre-registration for the youth XC program for this year, please do so this weekend. We are in the process of finding small 10 person training pod locations for all athletes. It’s quite a puzzle, but we’re optimistic to figure out a good solution for everyone. Thank you to everyone that has already signed up. We plan to have athletes separated into locations and groups by the middle of the week. More information is included below about the details of the youth season this year.

LATEST UPDATES

Due to the wildfires in Oregon and the shut down of Portland Parks through September 24th, BTC Youth XC in-person practices have to push to a start date during the week of Sept 27th. We will extend the program to run through Dec 6th. We will aim to have at least one to two weeks of digital instruction ahead of in-person practices. Please register as soon as possible to be placed in a practice pod and to receive digital training.

Athletes will be meeting once a week for in-person practice in 10 person pods with 1-2 coaches and will be provided one digital workout per week. Additionally, we are continuing to explore competition opportunities this season. Please make sure to read the practice protocols form ahead of sign-up.

Please fill out the pre-registration form below. This information will be collected to determine our 10 athlete pods with coaching availability. Pods will be organized by location, day/time, age and ability. To view the location options, please see the practice zones image below. These practice zones are not necessarily where you live but where you are able to practice. With many more smaller groups this year we’re exploring more parks and practice locations. Please select as many zones that your athlete(s) would be able to attend. The more zones you select, the higher probability that your athlete(s) will be placed in a practice pod. The athletes will be informed of their specific practice location within the zone once put in a pod.

Pre-registration does not guarantee your athlete participation in practice this season. You will be informed if your athlete(s) are in a practice pod and forwarded payment information. This season we will be requiring a minimum age limit of eight. All athletes participating must turn eight by Dec. 31st, 2020. At this time we will also not be allowing high school athletes to sign up for this program.

2020 BTC Youth XC cost this season is $100 per athlete. You will not be required to make payment until your athlete has been confirmed in their practice pod. As always, our goal at BTC remains to provide access to the sport at all levels. To inquire about registration financial assistance, email youth@bowermantc.com.
